Thank you Marten and Alice. My sister (Isabela, of Nonah) found the star, it was inside a small cave, in the rocks of the coast. We did many photos and videos, but there was no enough light and we were moving very much with the swell.
Eulalia and I were snorkeling together when we discovered this beautiful star. The colour was amazing. Alice, pity you didn't see any, it took us more than 10 days to find this.
